Check out the cover to Uncanny Avengers #2, the Marvel NOW! book from Rick Remender and John Cassaday!

Source: Press Release

It is always a risky move that could alienate half an audience when comics companies mix politics with superhero stories, but that doesn't stop Marvel and DC, stalwarts of the "liberal media," from doing so at every opportunity. In the past few years, we've seen Marvel Comics depict the Tea Party as racist hatemongers in Captain America, and we've seen DC's Superman renounce his US citizenship. Now, Marvel is taking things to a new level by revealing what The Outhouse's sources say is Mitt Romney's next campaign poster and using it as the cover for Uncanny Avengers #2.

This is a bold and underhanded move, showing that Marvel is not afraid to show their true colors (commie red). The Romney campaign likely worked for months on this image, meant to depict Romney and other key republican leaders in a positive light, ready to get out there and fight the evils of abortion, health benefits, and taxes for the wealthy. Instead, Marvel has ruined everything by associating the poster with the Red Skull and his band of Nazi S-Men, which at least half of Romney's voter base will likely find distasteful.

Shame on you, Marvel Comics. Leave politics out of our comics.

Here's the press release:

About the Author - Jude Terror

Jude Terror is the Webmaster Supreme of The Outhouse and a sarcastic ace reporter dedicated to delivering irreverent comics and entertainment news to The Outhouse's dozens of loyal readers. Driven by a quest for vengeance, Jude Terror taught himself to program and joined The Outhouse. He instantly began working toward his goal of forcing the internet comics community to take itself less seriously and failing miserably. A certified trash eater ruining the pristine field of comics journalism with his sarcasm and goofiness, Jude Terror is secretly friendly and congenial, so if you've got a complaint, why not just bring it up to him instead of subtweeting like a jackass, jackass? You can find him on Twitter or try your luck with an email, but keep in mind that he is notoriously unreliable and may not get back to you right away. Unless you want to send him free stuff, in which case he'll get back to you immediately.
